The following facts and procedural history are relevant to our resolution of the plaintiffs appeal. The plaintiff and the defendant entered into a five year lease for property that the defendant owned in Stamford. As part *157of the lease agreement, the plaintiff paid the defendant $9000 as a security deposit. The plaintiff initiated this action against the defendant by filing a complaint on March 27, 2001. The four count complaint claimed that the defendant had made false representations and violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), General Statutes § 42-110a et seq. It further sought reformation of the lease and an injunction. On April 24, 2001, the defendant filed a request to have the plaintiff revise the complaint. The plaintiff subsequently filed a revised complaint on May 11, 2001, claiming fraud and violation of CUTPA, and seeking reformation of the lease.2
